Comment on Plan for my first homeserver

You seem to have almost everything under control and already planned. For the VPN I’d suggest Tailscale since it’s the easiest VPN to set up (if you don’t have a public IP). You can do a lot of things with it, but if you only want the basics, then there’s not much reading to do. Some people recommend ZeroTier, but I havent tried it, tbh.
BTW, I would keep in mind that Tailscale is planning to go IPO (if you care about that):

Having something as critical as your vpn depend on a 3rd party kinda sounds like a bad idea

So long as Tailscale maintains their free tier, they would fit OPs needs just fine. If they move to get rid of, or otherwise enshitify the free tier, there would likely be time to move to wireguard or something similar.

I’d be interested in the viability of Headscale as a replacement, been meaning to try that…

Well, OP didn’t say what was their situation. I’m behind a CG-NAT so I’d need a VPS or something similar for which I’d have to pay, and I don’t have the budget right now. I understand the concern, but OP is looking to reduce the time needed to setup things.
